Mistress and I were doing a scene a couple weeks ago. It was nothing out of the ordinary, but I had been down on myself (body image stuff) earlier. So, Mistress had me kneel with my blindfold on while she inspected me. While walking around me, she said that I had said some very mean things about her slave, her property, and that she didn't appreciate that. [We had talked about my body image stuff before. We got a little heated because I called myself some names she didn't like]
I cried. Right there on the ground in a place that I love being in. There was no warning. I cried tears of sorrow. Seeing my words in that perspective really hit me harder than our discussion/argument had earlier. I kept my composure and stayed as still as I could during my inspection.
Perhaps d/s can really hit us harder than a typical discussion because we want to be the best sub or dom we can. If we aren't "taking care of the property" or keeping ourselves happy and healthy, we won't be our best selves-- in or out of the dynamic.
You're loved. You're worth it. Remember to be kind to yourself, especially on your worst days. 馃

if you, a student, define "your hardest" as zero breaks with constant work done and ultra-efficiency,
and you beat yourself up for not being able to do that,
you're not going about studying the right way. no person can function at "101%" like that (without destroying themselves), and 100% shouldn't be viewed that way, either.
no matter what you put into your work, whether it's 80%, 50%, or even just 5%, you're still doing 100%. it's about what you can do right now, not the hypothetical maximum.
be kind to yourself, for real. if nothing else, you're doing something, and that's always way better than nothing.

I haven鈥檛 slept in two horrible days so here鈥檚 a little disability/shit-sucks-so-be-nice-to-yourself tip: when/if you take your socks off to get into bed, tuck them in under the covers near your feet so that they will be pre-warmed for when you get up. 馃憤

i gotta say, publishing your art portfolio is nerve-racking.
HOWEVER! it also serves as a very good reminder of all the things i've done and it puts into perspective just how much good stuff i've put out in one way or another.
self-pat, self-high-five, you name it, i am doing it.

Things to do when you can鈥檛 take a shower.
Baby wipes (just wipe yourself down)
Wash your hands face and feet (you鈥檒l feel 10x cleaner)
Change your clothes/underwear
Wet washcloth (same as baby wipes)
Brush your teeth
Just rinsing your face (cold water is extra refreshing)
Putting on some deodorant (not body spray it doesn鈥檛 do anything for BO)
As always feel free to add. Whether it is a situational problem, mobility problem, or simple a mental health problem you still deserve to feel clean.
